It is strongly recommended that you use physical hardware for UCMDB Database in production environments where performance is a concern. Deploying the UCMDB database on a virtual environment might run into performance issue. 2. Assign dedicated resources (such as vcpu, memory, and disk I/O) to a guest operating system that acts as a UCMDB and Probe Server. 3. Deploy all UCMDB Server HA deployment in the same virtualization resource pool. 4. Use the high performance storage (such like HP 3PAR) for UCMDB server (If the I/O is not good enough, with some user scenarios, such as SOLR full indexing, it might cause CPU high usage). Hardware recommendations: 1. It is recommended to use the same number of vcpu and memory as recommended for physical deployment. 2. A Gigabit network card should be used. High-Availability Products Universal CMDB is compatible with the following high-availability products: HP Universal CMDB (10.22) Page 29 of 39

30 Compatibility The F5 BIG-IP version 10.x load balancer. (F5 BIG-IP version 11.x is also supported.) For details on configuring the load balancer, refer to the High Availability section in the interactive HP Universal CMDB Deployment Guide. If you are using a different load balancer, the configuration should be performed by a network administrator who has a wide knowledge about how to configure your load balancer, and similar principles should be applied. Note: The load balancer used for High Availability must have the ability to insert cookies and must be able to do health checks ("keepalive"). HP Software Integrations Information about HP software that integrates with Universal CMDB can be found at the HP Software Support site. See HP Software Integrations Catalog. HP Software Coexistence No coexistence information for Universal CMDB is available. Other Software Coexistence No coexistence information for Universal CMDB is available. Server / Client Compatibility No compatibility information for older versions of Universal CMDB clients or servers is available. Performance and Sizing When planning capacity, among other issues, you should consider the ratio of managed nodes in your CMDB to node-related CIs. Node-related CIs include all CIs of types that are subclasses of Application Resource, Node Element, or Running Software. HP Universal CMDB (10.22) Page 30 of 39

31 Compatibility The following table lists the number of node-related CIs you can discover for each managed node in your environment. This number depends on the size of your deployment and the number of managed nodes the more managed nodes you maintain in the CMDB, the fewer node-related CIs you can discover for each managed node. For example, in an Enterprise deployment, if you are running 134,400 managed nodes, you can discover 160 node-related CIs for each managed node. If you are running only 43,200 managed nodes, you can discover 500 resource CIs for each managed node. Deployment Number of Managed Nodes/Node-Related CIs Enterprise / /500 Standard 9000/ /500 Small 4500/ /500 Note: The numbers in the table include only CIs and not relationships. For more details about performance and sizing, see the HP Universal CMDB Sizing Guide. HP Universal CMDB (10.22) Page 31 of 39

32 Transparent Technology and Virtualization Support Transparent Technology and Virtualization Support In recent years, a number of transparent hardware and software technologies and virtualization solutions (such as Citrix, Microsoft Cluster Software, and VMware) have become increasingly prevalent. These solutions operate in the technology layers adjacent to the operating systems or, in some cases, as extensions of the operating systems. Similarly, database solutions offer transparent components as supported elements. HP supports Universal CMDB running on operating systems and databases on particular platforms as described in the matrix above, not specific hardware and software configurations. HP will support Universal CMDB customers who run HP software products on supported operating systems and databases, irrespective of whether they are running transparent or virtualization solutions in their environment. HP does not support these transparent or virtualization technologies directly. Since the providers of these technologies support a set of certified operating systems and hardware, the customer and the providers of these technologies will be responsible for any interactions or issues that arise at the hardware or operating system layer as a result of their use. HP will not require customers to re-create and troubleshoot every issue in a non-transparent environment; however, HP does reserve the right to request that its customers diagnose certain issues in a native certified operating system environment without the transparent technology. HP will only make this request when there is reason to believe that the environment is a contributing factor to the reported issue. While Universal CMDB is expected to function properly with these transparent technologies in place, there may be performance implications, which can invalidate HP s typical sizing and recommendations. Analysis must be performed within the context of the specific application to be hosted in a virtual environment to minimize potential resource overload, which can have significant impact on performance and scalability, particularly under peak load.
